The PlanarStar PS-2 Active Studio Monitor is a groundbreaking product that brings planar magnetic tweeter technology to the professional studio monitoring market. Long celebrated in headphone design for its exceptional speed, resolution, and low distortion, the planar magnetic driver principle has been successfully applied in the PS-2 to create a monitor that reveals musical and sonic details that conventional dome tweeters simply cannot resolve.
The planar magnetic tweeter consists of an ultra-thin diaphragm with a conductive aluminum trace pattern suspended between arrays of powerful neodymium magnets. When audio signal passes through the conductive traces, the resulting electromagnetic force moves the entire diaphragm uniformly, eliminating the modal breakup and pistonic motion limitations of conventional dome tweeters. The result is extraordinarily low distortion and exceptional transient accuracy from 2kHz to beyond 40kHz.
The 6.5-inch woofer features a carbon fiber composite cone with a cast aluminum basket and powerful neodymium motor system, providing the speed and control necessary to complement the planar tweeter’s performance. A precisely designed second-order crossover transitions between the two drivers with optimal phase and amplitude characteristics. The bi-amplified power system delivers 100 watts to the woofer and 40 watts to the planar tweeter.
The sealed cabinet design is chosen for its superior transient accuracy and linear bass response. Room EQ controls on the rear panel include four-position filters for LF shelving, LF frequency, HF shelving, and a Boundary EQ for wall placement compensation. Balanced XLR and TRS inputs are provided. Sold individually.
